Fall Fashion: Work to Wear

When I’m at my desk ready to write an article or I’m standing in the kitchen trying to photograph chili in a way that doesn’t make it look like dog food, I want to love how my outfit looks when I glance down. If I don’t look like myself, I can’t possibly feel like myself, and how the heck am I suppose to work if I’m not myself?! So, here’s the outfit I’m wearing this fall that will make me feel inspired every time I see it:

“Silky” Blouse:A woven polyester or silk blouse worn tucked in with an interesting dress pant will be perfect this fall.

“Interesting” Pant:This year, I’m seeing a blouse worn with a pant that has a very wide, dramatic leg. This will be a great juxtaposition to the other elements of the look that are very sophisticated. My favorite option is one made of wool or wool-blend.

Block Heel Platform Pump: I am really excited about block heels and statement shoes this season. A platform pump with a wide strap across the top of your foot is a very cool way to wear a unique shoe that is still appropriate for the office. It’s like an updated Mary Jane.

Structured Shoulder Bag: I’m all about a structured handbag right now. This contributes to the “sophisticated” part of the look.
